Shows controlled drug delivery in the gastrointestinal tract, highlighting an innovative approach to treatment.
Targeted Drug Delivery A magnetically actuated milli-scale carrier can release magnetic particles on demand within the gastrointestinal tract leveraging rotation. Upon reaching the target site, an external magnetic field can open a magnetic soft cap, enabling cargo release via a rotation-driven fluidic exchange mechanism. The released dose is controlled by rotation frequency and actuation time allowing particle deployment in hard-to-reach areas of the body.
